Cloud, On-Prem, or Both? Rethinking Infrastructure for Modern Engineering
Choosing between cloud, on-prem, or hybrid infrastructure is no longer about picking sides. Modern engineering leaders must balance cost, compliance, and agility in an environment where both technology and business needs are always shifting. This article examines the real trade-offs, supported by industry benchmarks and case studies, and offers practical frameworks for workload placement, migration, and measurement. Whether you are optimising for performance, managing regulatory risk, or scaling platform engineering, the future belongs to organisations that measure outcomes, adapt quickly, and architect for change.
